The Great Mandela Rhodes Scholarship for Young African Changemakers 2025

The great Mandela Rhodes scholarship combines financial support with a leadership programme that will challenge you, grow you, and connect you to young African changemakers – just like you.

They look for young leaders who aspire to the principles below and who have demonstrated the potential to live them out.

  1. LEADERSHIP: Do you aspire to be a visionary leader who has moral authority? Do you see leadership as more than just personal ambition – as a way to pursue the advancement of equality and freedom, human rights and human dignity? And do you want to guide and inspire others to reach their full potential?
  2. RECONCILIATION: Do you believe that reconciliation – combined with reparation – is the key to harnessing an imperfect past to develop a more just world? And are you prepared to start the process by looking at your own internal landscape?
  3. EDUCATION: Do you have excellent academic results but believe that your education should not only benefit you but make a difference for others? And do you agree that intellectual excellence must be accompanied by character and a rounded personality?
  4. ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Do you want to see Africa take its rightful place as an equal and competitive presence in the global world? Have you demonstrated individual effort, innovation and creativity to this end?
